Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner Out West!

Reviewed by planktonrules 7 / 10

This is NOT a typical western---and not just when it comes to the plot.

This is one of the strangest westerns I can recall--and for many reasons. First, the cast is odd. Jack Lord is the star and his friend is played by none other than Mel Tormé! It's also interesting that a Hawaiian of Japanese ancestry (James Shigeta) would play a Chinese man. And, the leading 'Chinese' lady in the film (Nobu McCarthy) was Japanese. Second, the plot is just odd...very, very odd. The film begins with a slave auction in California circa 1870 (give or take). When Linc Bartlett learns about this, he's appalled. He's even more upset to see a poor girl who is obviously very humiliated being stripped and sold. He steps in and buys the girl--intending to set her free. However, what happens next is completely unforeseen. I'd say more but it's just something you should probably see for yourself.To me, this film was quite enjoyable but was also intended less as a history lesson and more a metaphor for the changing civil right atmosphere in the US in 1960. Still, it's pretty good--and quite interesting. One of Lord's few starring roles before vaulting to super-star status with "Hawaii Five-O".

Where is it?

I saw this movie in about 1966 on "Saturday Night At The Movies" and have never forgotten it. A lot of people are probably not aware that before Jack Lord struck gold with Hawaii Five 0 that he had a pretty good resume as an actor is westerns. As I said, I have not seen this movie since 1966 and have not been able to locate it on the available sources. I hope I find it soon and maybe someone can help me. Rest In Peace Mr. Lord, Mr. Torme', and Mr. Shigeta.
